Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 521 Showdown
In front of the mountain gate, there was a constant roar.

The dust was flying, and the flames of the explosion ignited the trees. A petite figure moved around hundreds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and accurately avoided the treasures projected towards her with unparalleled lightness.

What is the weakness of King of Heroes?
Knowing that it was possible to confront Archer again, Saber had of course thought about this issue before.

According to the experience of fighting in Jiantong House last time, she clearly realized one thing. Her only chance of winning against the King of Heroes is to behead him personally.

Even though Archer has a certain melee ability, but limited by her class, it is impossible for her to be stronger than her as a sword servant.

As for that guy named Wuming, he was too mysterious and weird, and she ignored him directly, just treat him as a melee mage.

The situation was different from that night at Matou House.

Saber is in good condition at the moment, and will not be unable to attack or dodge because of protecting Lancelot,

So she decisively launched an attack, trying to approach Archer for hand-to-hand combat.

It's a good idea, but implementing it is another story.

sigh~
With a twist of her neck, a cold-glowing sword brushed against her forehead and fell behind her, splashing a pile of gravel.

A few more treasures are gradually enlarged in front of my eyes.

Gritting her silver teeth, Saber could only stop her forward pace, raised her holy sword to shoot down a spear, jumped to avoid two long knives, and retreated quickly.

Boom-boom-boom!
Among the shining golden circles of light, hundreds of rounds of Noble Phantasms shot at Saber like machine gun bullets. The Noble Phantasms seemed to be endless. Such dense firepower caused her to be repulsed several times.

Can't get close to Archer at all.

King Dumao couldn't help being a little impatient, and she realized that she had overlooked a question before.

The King's Treasure of the King of Heroes is a projectile attack. In addition to the number of Noble Phantasms projected, the Noble Phantasm's projection speed is fixed, and it takes time for the Noble Phantasm to fly.

As long as she is farther away from the King of Heroes, she will have more reaction time and dodge space, but she can't cut him.

The closer she was to Archer, the greater her chances of winning, but correspondingly, the harder it was for her to avoid the Noble Phantasm he projected.

The magic armor on her body couldn't resist dozens of treasures, and she didn't have the means to intercept so many treasures at once.

If you are too close, it is no different from ordinary people bumping into the muzzle of a gun.

Therefore, even if she took the risk of being killed and rushed forward no matter what, the result would be a high probability of being beaten into a sieve, and the winning rate was extremely low.

And if you can't get close to him, you can't win, but if you try to get close, there is a high probability that you will die, which is embarrassing.

"What's the matter, Saber, there's nothing you can do so soon?" The blood-red eyes stared at her, and the King of Heroes stood on a tree with his hands behind his back, with a playful smile on his lips.

Nimbly dodging handfuls of treasures, walking in the flames of the explosion, Saber stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

It's not that she doesn't have long-range attack methods, but the "Wind King's Hammer" is too obvious when it is launched, and it is not difficult for Archer to hide from this distance.

clang!
Gold and iron clashed, and sparks shot out from the blade of the sword. After Saber knocked a halberd flying with one sword, he hesitated in his heart.

Looking at the triumphant Archer on the tree, she really wanted to release the "Sword of Promised Victory", but it is not surprising that a heroic spirit as powerful as the King of Heroes has some means to resist and block the opponent's treasure.

Once she didn't succeed, she used up all the magic power in her body, and she couldn't even support and procrastinate.

She really didn't know what to do, Saber didn't dare to take the risk until the last moment.

After thinking about it, Artoria was surprised to find that she couldn't think of any way to win except to wait for her allies to come back and gang up on Archer.

This idea of ​​pinning all her hopes on her teammates made her feel a little embarrassed and ashamed.

Only then did Artoria suddenly realize, and she didn't know when she started to rely on Wuming a little bit.

This emotion should not have appeared on her.

Why is this happening?

Is she too eager to get the Holy Grail, or has she become weak, or... Wuming is always confident, everything is under control, and his strength is also very strong, giving people a feeling that he can solve everything.

These days, the plan was made by him and Kiritsugu, and the enemy was also solved by him.

Killing Lancer, taking out the Lesser Holy Grail... He did all these beautifully, but she... seemed to have done nothing, and followed his rhythm in a daze.

In fact, she has been taken care of by him, treated as a little girl by him, so that she is a little used to it, or slack?
hateful!

Thinking of this, Artoria suddenly became a little annoyed, and flames ignited in a pair of emerald eyes.

Although Saber doesn't know the word lying down, she refuses to accept such a result. It all depends on her teammates, so what does she need to do?
Call ~
A gust of invisible whirlwind whizzed, and the wind wrapped around the holy sword spread out. In the surging air current, the holy sword revealed a tip full of golden brilliance.

Saber stared at Archer coldly, swung the holy sword with her arm, and the wind energy gathered at a high speed was crazily compressed into a ball, which was the "Wind King's Hammer".

Boom!

Accompanied by a huge roaring sound, the extremely compressed wind energy knocked away more than a dozen treasures all the way, like a cannonball, rushing towards the golden glitter on the tree!

With a fixed gaze, the King of Heroes jumped to avoid the blow.

With a bang, a thick branch exploded instantly, and when sawdust flew, countless leaves shattered.

Although the blow was easily avoided, Jin Glittering's treasure projection also paused, which was what Saber needed.

Her face was serious, and she raised the holy sword with both hands.

The huge magic power surged, the whirlwind blew, and the Wind King's enchantment was lifted. The golden sword showed its divine posture in the sweeping wind, and the golden light of the sword shone, as if congratulating the promised victory, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

There is no doubt that Saber intends to get serious.

Witnessing the true face of this star-made holy sword, the blood-colored pupils of the hero Wang Yaoyi shrank.

Immediately, he laughed.

"Oh, are you planning to have a showdown?"

The radiance of the surrounding Noble Phantasms surrounds his body, as if emitting divine radiance, he smiled evilly at Saber.

Arturia remained silent, concentrated all her strength on the arms holding the hilt of the sword, and raised the golden sword exuding high-density brilliance.

Like the first ray of dawn after a long night, the brilliance gently wipes away the restlessness and anxiety entrenched in the heart.

King of Heroes can see more.

This light is exactly the ideal of the knights. Even though they are on the bloody battlefield and exposed to the ultimate hell of death and despair, they still sing the praises of the nobility of humanity.

It is the crystallization of all the dreams that have been pictured in the hearts of all who have faded into the radiance, the purest light.

As soon as his expression was straightened, a gleam appeared in the blood-colored pupils of the King of Heroes. It was a kind of admiration for Saber, and there was also a sideways glance at the holy sword.

Jin Yingying is not completely arrogant, although he is extremely arrogant, he also has something to appreciate.

"Well, for the sake of you and this sword, let me show you my precious treasure."

The King of Heroes stretched out his palm to one side and opened the treasure house in the void, but he did not unfold the "King's Treasure", but only took out a "key".

A golden key with a peculiar shape, flowing with a layer of glow.

It looks ordinary, but as soon as it appears, it seems to become the center of the whole world, and even the light of the stars and the moon dims instantly.

…………

The fight between the servants was huge.

So Kotomine Kirei, who was hiding on the mountainside, started to act when he heard the continuous explosions on the other side of the mountain.

He knew that it was the sound of the Noble Phantasm falling, proving that Saber had already fought against the King of Heroes, and in this way, all the obstacles between him and Emiya Kiritsugu disappeared.

call out!
A blade of light cut through the night, piercing a bat familiar squatting on a dense branch with incomparable precision.

Father Ma Po immediately got up from the bushes and hurried towards the back door of Liudong Temple. This undisguised approach actually exposed his own existence, but he didn't care.

This is a signal, a signal to declare war.

He knew that the man would definitely come and kill him.

Rather than saying that Emiya Kiritsugu is an unscrupulous assassin who does not have the honor of a magician, it is better to say that he is a precision instrument. That man has no purpose other than victory in battle, and will not be swayed by emotions.

Emiya Kiritsugu must know that Saber can't solve the King of Heroes, and the battle between Wuming and Rider is still unknown.

Someone like the Magician Killer would definitely not place all his hopes on others.

Then, when he appeared undisguised, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely find a way to get rid of him.

He is the master of the King of Heroes. Even if Archer has the ability to act alone, once the master is gone, the status of the servants will also be greatly affected.

Acting alone is only in the absence of a master, and the follower can maintain the spirit body without dissipating immediately, which does not mean magic power.

Even the King of Heroes would feel very uncomfortable without the contract of the servant, and without the supply of magic power at all. Gilgamesh would not be able to find the Master immediately after he died.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, Gilgamesh had no chance of winning against the equally powerful Wuming.

Based on this alone, Kiritsugu had a reason to come and kill him.

This is also what he wants, Saber and Archer are fighting, Wuming and Rider are also fighting, no one interferes, they can decide the outcome.

His mood gradually became agitated, his blood was burning in his chest, and a frightening look flashed in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.

When did he start to have an obsession with that man?
Obviously he has firmly established his belief in the pursuit of pleasure, why is he still obsessed with fighting Emiya Kiritsugu?
It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter anymore.

The last time they fought in the forest outside Einzbern Castle, although there was no communication, he felt that he had understood him.

That man is either extremely empty like him, or he has an ideal beyond the world.

For this reason, he kept killing people, getting involved in the vortex of war, and even brought his wife to the battlefield cruelly. He almost gave up everything, family, love, and even his own life, just for one belief.

Emiya Kiritsugu, he is either a saint or a devil!

Kotomine Kirei felt himself trembling.

If he is a devil, it happens to be his "confidant", just kill him happily. If he is a saint, what is more exciting than destroying the ideals and beliefs of a saint with his own hands, watching him lose everything, his will collapse and fall into hell? ah? !
Only such enemies are worth fighting!
Just thinking about it, Kotomine Kirei felt that his numb mind was like dry and cracked land moistened by a clear spring, re-glowing with infinite vigor and vitality.

He must fight that man!

Surely no one can understand a person like Emiya Kiritsugu, his behavior is extremely weird, and his ideals must also transcend the world.

Such a man must have carried unimaginable ideas in the past. His friends, his relatives, and even his wife... may not be able to truly understand him.

Only he can appreciate Kiritsugu, only he can destroy him...

Kotomine Kirei: I understand him better than his wife!
…………

Liudong Temple, at the back door.

Emiya Kiritsugu slowly put down the Yuanwang crystal ball in his hand, the familiar was killed, there was no image on it, but an acquaintance appeared on the screen just now.

That person's location has been revealed.

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was indifferent, without any hesitation, he walked into the forest with unhurried and firm steps.

Sometimes he would also wonder where and in what form he was related to Kotomine Kirei.

Did he ever offend Kotomine Kirei so much that he hated him so much and wanted to take revenge on him?
But it is futile to think about these things now, his life has always been ups and downs, he will never remember who wants to kill him, and he doesn't care about personal grievances.

Originally, he really got to know Kotomine Kirei from Muming.

There was one thing that Kiritsugu couldn't figure out all the time, why did the acting agent insist on chasing him regardless of everything?
Even if Kotomine Kirei thinks they are the same kind of people, it's not a reason to keep pestering them, especially because the other party deliberately created the current situation.

Archer has the ability to act alone, even if the master is not around, he can fight.

If it is to obtain the Holy Grail, Kotomine Kirei should hide, and the one who has passed should simply try to unite with Rider...

When he appeared on the battlefield by himself, not only could he not be of much help, but it also gave the King of Heroes an additional weakness that could be targeted.

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu also had to understand.

That is to say, for Kotomine Kirei, winning the Holy Grail is not the first consideration, so the agent's first purpose has also been exposed──to come for him!
Although it felt a little ridiculous, but in the face of the iron facts, the magician killer had to admit it.

Well, a little analysis can tell.

There was an extreme emptiness in Wuming's mouth, and Kotomine Kirei, who pursued pleasure, regarded him as an object, an opponent who could satisfy his distorted beliefs and way of being.

He has already fully understood the existence of Kotomine Kirei, or in other words, no one understands that agent better than him.

Emiya Kiritsugu even had a vague understanding of why Kotomine Kirei subconsciously pursued the Holy Grail, which was something the agent himself hadn't realized—because his way of existence could only be realized through the Holy Grail!
Kotomine Kirei's distorted nature, that kind of pleasant concept that is not allowed by worldly morality, what else can contain it except the Holy Grail?

Kiritsugu suddenly felt a little ironic.

Kotomine Ri is just a devout believer who has believed in God all his life. He has not realized the nature of his son at all. He must think that Kirei is a saint.

Father Kiritsugu: I understand him better than his father!
The moonlight in the sky and the howling cold wind became the signposts leading to purgatory, guiding the two men.

It seems to be the arrangement of fate.

In the silent forest, under the shadow of the whirling moon, the two met in a forest glade at the corner of the mountain path.

There is not a branch around, a leaf to block the line of sight, and they are completely exposed to each other!
Emiya Kiritsugu saw the slender figure wearing the robe of the agent, and Kotomine Kirei also recognized the black windbreaker of the enemy.

There was no need for any verbal communication between them.

There are three in the right hand and three in the left. Father Mapo holds a total of six black keys, with a sharp cold light shining on the blade.

The walker's leg muscles suddenly exerted strength, and he galloped, and the speed that he erupted in an instant almost whipped up a gust of wind!
Father Kiritsugu's eyes were cold, he held the barrel of the gun that exuded the luster of gun oil, and pointed the front sight of the gun straight ahead.

Tongues of fire burst out, silver blades flashed.

In the next second, both sides slammed down the killer at the same time, Kiritsugu's father resolutely pulled the trigger, and the black keys overflowing with cold light also pierced the night sky.

The fight began.
